I recall reading in Beatles Monthly that fans often camped out in the garden of Kenwood, which must have been great fun but John was not pleased!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8042906385488172173.post-45833596715227368952015-01-12T15:50:03.232+00:002015-01-12T15:50:03.232+00:00INCREDIBLE VIDEO.

When I saw that long driveway leading to the front door, it made me realize you HAD to be 15 like I was at the time to have the guts to walk up and knock on the front door! And walk all over the gardens too! Fans... It was also interesting to see that photo of my friend's family by the garage, holding up Beatle photos! That's what you did when your family was going to London without you in the late 60"s: you gave them John Lennon's address and made them go to his house and take pictures all over!Lizzie Bravohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07219518308643161665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8042906385488172173.post-49240329645013545952014-12-27T18:18:05.418+00:002014-12-27T18:18:05.418+00:00PS I forgot - there is also the Thames At 6 news r...PS I forgot - there is also the Thames At 6 news report from the Hallenius era, detailing the removal of the pool mural.

The attic was gutted and the rooms completely redesigned. This film is, therefore, a final glimpse of Kenwood as John would have known it.<br />As for pre-1995 films, the only ones that have come to light have been some of John's own home movies (of which there are around 20 minutes in his archive). <br />By my reckoning, there have been at least 6 owners post-Lennon: a London underworld figure (!) about whom little is known, the songwriter Bill Martin, The Hallenius family, a banker and his American wife (their renovation dates from the time of this video), someone else from the City of London, and the current owner who is a Russian businessman. It wouldn't surprise me if some home movie footage from one or other of these exists, but I wouldn't bet on it coming into the public domain.<br />Equally, there may be more material from fans out there - do please get in touch if you are reading this and know of anything!kenwoodlennonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00086673613903823046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8042906385488172173.post-83910470675800087822014-12-27T01:00:31.747+00:002014-12-27T01:00:31.747+00:00So this video pre-dates the Joe Baiardi videos, co...So this video pre-dates the Joe Baiardi videos, correct?
